Thank you to all of you who took the time to join in with our challenge again last week, another fantastic week.

I also want to remind everyone that to eligible for the prize you must follow the theme with a NEW card or project and link back to this blog. Any cards made and posted on your blog before the date of this weeks challenge will not be eligible to win our prize this week.

The Design Team have asked me to make a plea to you all.....Word Verification is a real drag when we are trying to leave comments on your cards....but when you also have Comment Moderation....why!!! Please would you all consider turning off Word Verification and turning on Comment Moderation...that way it saves us time leaving comments, but still protects you from spam comments as you can just publish the ones that are ok. On my blog I have neither and I don't get that many spam comments....and because I have set up my blog to be emailed whenever I receive a comment, I can go straight in and delete the offending ones....So join in the campaign and get rid of Word Verification!

This week we want to see your creations that feature an element that you have made yourself. It can be backing papers, flowers, fimo embellishment...whatever you can think of. Let your imagination run wild.

My name is Heidi Erickson, co-owner of The Stamp Shoppe in Schofield, Wisconsin since 1997. I started drawing images for Stamp Shoppe Creations in October 2009. We started with a Penguin line of stamps, but have expanded to other cute animal stamps and sentiments as well. Our stamps are made from deeply etched rubber and are available unmounted or cling mounted.

And here is the fab prize on offer for one lucky winner this week...

As always the winner will be chosen using Random.org
